'Naughty puppies no.12', Louise Brierley

Oil on pane, 29 x 37 cm

This painting is one of a series of thirteen finished at the end of last year. They were inspired by the no-man’s land of Hackney Marshes, that particular place where the edge of the City meets nature.

Lurking in the shadows are demonic, half-bred creatures who, perhaps in reaction to their boredom, are engaged in a kind of private anarchy.
